Stones of Passage
The quiet intelligence of the world
Posted by Christina Zipperlen on November 11, 2025
There is a wisdom that lives beneath the surface, a quiet rhythm that moves through all things that grow, change, and return. Stones, formed under the earth’s slow and patient pressure, are carriers of this rhythm. They remind us that transformation is not sudden, but cyclical. That everything dissolves and reforms in time.
Our newest crystal pieces — Wild Treasures, Companion of Passage, and Resting Heart — are born of this remembering. Each stone was chosen for its connection to the heart, to the cycles of courage, renewal, and rest that shape our becoming. Together, they form a small constellation within the Held to Hold collection: talismans for navigating thresholds, for honoring the fertility of creation, and for resting in the quiet after the bloom.
The intention behind these stones
These three designs are companions for life’s passages. Each one represents a moment in the cycle of creation and becoming: the courage to move forward, the abundance that flows through us, and the stillness that follows change.
Wild Treasures gathers the fertility of the earth in a cluster of luminous green stones, celebrating the abundance and harmony that arise when all parts of life are in dialogue.
Companion of Passage speaks to the courage it takes to meet the unknown: the tender, potent space between what was and what will be.
Resting Heart invites restoration, honoring the season of pause that follows effort and birth.
Together, these stones mirror the great cycles of Demeter – sowing, ripening, resting – the eternal movement through creation, loss, and renewal. They are reminders that thresholds are not interruptions but continuations, that after every descent, the light returns.

Wild Treasures · The Abundance of Creation
Our Wild Treasures pieces are a constellation of luminous green stones, gathered like an offering from the earth. At its heart, Green Fluorite shines with clarity and protection, embraced by Peridot, Green Tourmaline, and Aquamarine, a cluster reminiscent of a cornucopia, an organic gathering that mirrors the wild perfection of nature.
Each stone holds its place in this quiet harmony: Fluorite gathers scattered energy into coherence, bringing order and renewal; Peridot glimmers with the freshness of new growth; Green Tourmaline strengthens the heart and our sense of belonging; and Aquamarine flows with calmness and courage.
These pieces celebrates the fertile abundance of Demeter’s fields, order rising from chaos, blossoms from seed, vision from stillness. Worn close to the heart, Wild Treasures honors the quiet intelligence of nature and reminds us that creation is always returning to balance.
Companion of Passage · The Courage to Cross Thresholds
Our Companion of Passage pieces hold an oval Vesuvianite, a stone as deep and green as forest lakes. Known for dissolving fear and awakening courage, Vesuvianite is the talisman for every moment we are asked to step into the unknown.
Like a seed pressing through soil, Vesuvianite embodies emergence, the movement from darkness into light, from potential into form. Strongly resonant with the heart chakra, it aligns will with love, guiding us to act in coherence with truth.
These pieces honor the courage it takes to cross from one chapter into the next. It is a reminder that thresholds are not endings but invitations, that within every closing lies the quiet promise of beginning again.
Resting Heart · The Medicine of Stillness
Our Resting Heart pieces cradle a soft, glowing Prehnite crystal, the “healer’s stone.” Like morning light through leaves, its gentle green hue speaks of renewal, sanctuary, and the tender strength that follows transformation.
These pieces honor the season of restoration, after harvest, after birth, after endings, when body, spirit, and soil return to stillness. Prehnite soothes the nervous system, bridges heart and will, and teaches that rest is not idleness but integration. It is a companion for healing, for postpartum moments, and for all the quiet thresholds that call for gentleness.
A talisman for the sacred pause, Resting Heart reminds us that presence itself is medicine – that in stillness, life gathers the strength to begin again.
Together, Wild Treasures, Companion of Passage, and Resting Heart form a circle – abundance, courage, and rest – the eternal dance of growth and return.
They are gifts from the earth, holding within them the reminder that every passage, no matter how dark or uncertain, leads us home to ourselves.
